Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) announced Friday he is granting clemency to Tina Peters — the former election official convicted for her role in a voting system breach — cutting her sentence and making her eligible for parole as soon as next month.
The move marks a dramatic and controversial intervention in one of the most closely watched election interference cases to emerge after the 2020 election — and comes after months of sustained pressure from President Donald Trump and his far-right allies to secure Peters’ release.
“We condemn Governor Polis’ clemency grant. It is a gross injustice to our elections, election workers and democracy with far-reaching consequences,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) said in a statement. “This is a dark day for democracy.”
Fucking pathetic. If given the chance, she would do it again.
Another spineless dem. Who could have seen that coming?
1000 bucks says she going do it again with Trump blessings. I thought treason came with the death plenty? 9 years was to fucking light of a sentence.
79 year old Trump is the biggest threat to our country I’ve ever seen. Unless the Governor was planning to put her in a locked dementia ward, she shouldn’t granted clemency because now she can go encourage others to emulate her.
